Update: IDN ccTLD Fast Track Draft Implementation Plan

26 November 2008

ICANN is pleased to release an updated draft Implementation Plan for the IDN
ccTLD fast track process [PDF, 265K]. The updated document contains clarifying
information about the notion of IDN tables.

An IDN Table is a table listing all those characters that a particular TLD
registry supports. If one or more of these characters are considered a variant
this is indicated next to that/those characters. It is also indicated which
character a particular character is a variant to. The IDN table usually holds
characters representing a specific language but can also be characters from a
specific script.

With the updated draft document, ICANN is seeking community input about the
approach to development of the IDN tables. The comment period for the Draft
Implementation Plan has been extended to 7 January 2009 to allow for additional
community review of the updated draft document.

Comments on the Draft Implementation Plan are welcome via email to
ft-implementation@xxxxxxxxx . An archive of all comments received will be
publicly posted at http://forum.icann.org/lists/ft-implementation/.
